We are discussing the primacy of life issues in Catholic teaching not what other Christian denominations teach. Which are so varied could and have filled volumes.

And frankly I think we could do with a hell of a lot more modern day crusaders considering the very real danger radical Islam poses to our civilization. I thank God every October for our victory over the Turks ate Lepanto. Which without the aid of Our Lady would have been a rout.

And no one is picking and choosing verses from the OT and NT. And I suppose I must remind you that Catholic teaching does not rest on Sola Scriptura. I think the encyclical Dei Verbum would be of help in that area. You also would do well to read the fathers and such early Christian writings as the Didache. These would give you a heads up on the constant teaching of the Church regarding the grave sin of abortion.

And I do not think your remarks are insulting. But I do find them ignorant of Catholic teaching. I believe fully it is not willful ignorance but evidence of the extremely poor religious education you most likely received. If you want to correct that ignorance I would be glad to supply you with some wonderful apologetics.

Rather than risking further offense, I defer to your knowledge on the subject and will refrain from interjecting my own thoughts on Christianity and especially Catholicism.
